Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett, hands down favorite portrayal of Holmes). I've got to agree with you on that one. Best portrayal of Holmes in my book too. Maybe that's because I grew up with him playing Holmes. |

If you want to see a pipe smoker par exallance, Bruno Cremer, as Maigret, puffs up a constant storm. Makes Gabon and Atkinson look like newbies.
On MhZ network via Amazon for $8.00 a month. 9 Seasons and the episodes are near movie length.
Other fine Euro programming as well

Good, I think you will enjoy it. Subtitled of course. Not knocking Gabon, but Cremer really knows what he is doing. Smokes big XL Billiards and Pots. Every episode opens with him loading his pipe from a well used leather pouch. |

All this talk of Sherlock makes me want to go find a set of DVDs of those Jeremy Brett episodes. Bad enough you guys enable PAD, TAD etc, now it's DVDAD.

My favorite would also have to be Sherlock Holmes with Dr. John Watson being a close second.

My avatar, a more recent example of a pipe smoker in fiction, and a good example of Japan not following other places new cultural repression of smoking, is Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage, the leader of a village led by ninja( very nerdy I know.) He is depicted in the manga/anime Natruto as smoking what looks to be a bent bulldog pipe almost constantly.

I've been trying to think of a good, original pipe smoker, but I think I'll go with Sam Gamgee. Sam had life sorted, man. He knew what he wanted from life, and his moral compass was infallible.
We should all aspire to be Sam.

Daniel Plainview portrayed by Daniel Day Lewis in the movie There Will Be Blood. Easily one of the best movies of the 21th century. An Oscar worthy story and performance.  And the movie posters are pretty darn cool too.  Here’s the trailer. If you’re a movie buff, this is a must see. |

Daniel Day Lewis smokes a pipe in Gangs Of New York as well. Bill the Butcher is another legendary character  |

Since Sherlock Holmes and Lovecraft are already taken, I'll throw in Dr. Seuss, Hemingway, and who can forget Mark Twain. While not fictional characters, they did enrich my youth with their writings, so I am going to make it count. Cheers! It seems to be popularly believed that Ernest Hemingway smoked a pipe. He did not. I have formally studied Hemingway since 1975. After you first time this came up I studied up on it and discovered that you are absolutely correct. Hemingway thought tobacco was for losers. |

We should all aspire to be Sam. We named our First Yorkie Samwise Gamgee after reading the books in 1988. He lived up to the game. A truer little friend you could never find. |
